The internet has been buzzing all day today because of one name: Tucker Carlson.

If you haven’t heard the story yet, FOX News pundit Tucker Carlson responded to the recent comments from President Obama about the Philadelphia Eagles owner giving Michael Vick a second chance to compete in the NFL, and the conversation quickly took a sharp right.

“I’m a Christian, I’ve made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances,” Carlson said. “But Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should’ve been executed for that. He wasn’t, but the idea that the President of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs?”

Well, I’m guessing Tucker Carlson took the phrase “eye for an eye” literally. But maybe he forgot that was in the Old Testament, not the New Testament where the Bible speaks about grace and mercy.

Understand, I have no sympathy for Vick going to prison for his part in the dogfighting operation. He did the crime and paid the time. But let’s not go overboard with this.

One of the key points of the prison system is to rehab misbehaving citizens, if rehab is possible depending on the case. By all standards, Michael Vick has shown contrition, has paid his debt to society and has traveled around the country encouraging kids not to make the same choices.
